Karl Marx said unemployment was a foundational necessity of capitalism (although not the feudalism that preceded capitalism), so I don't see this program lasting long ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_army_of_labour ).
No need to bother Marx, plenty of economists will tell you that the market needs unemployment or "bad things will happen".
I think unemployment simply can't be solved in a capitalist society, as it would expose a major contradiction of liberist economies.
We tell people they have to work or they're parasites and don't deserve to have their basic needs covered, but at the same time we need a mass of them to be out of work, in order to be able to exploit the rest.
So much of our lifestyle is built on exploitation of the working class, be it local or foreign.
